#5 Yes and no BP.

Not many (2-4 if I remember reading another article correctly) are being sent just to train future customers how to work with the F-35 networks with the 4th gen jets they have.

Now if 2 squadrons of F-22s and F-35s showed up I would be a little more worried about what was going on.
